Official 2010 Ice-Out Thread

Anyone have any info or pictures on how much ice is left in 19 Mile Bay?

Thanks in advance.

A new record for dock-in day. Previous was April 1 - so have beat the record by two weeks. One small ice flow exited a small nearby bay, but by the time it had floated by, it was all but dissolved.

I do not think there is any ice in 19 mile bay. I am not positive but there is no ice in 20 mile bay or anywhere arounf there. It is open to cow island.

Why is there an area of Lilly Pond that was plowed? A bit off thread, but just curious.

I know they race model boats there in the summer. Do they have a model airplane runway to mirror Alton Bay in the winter?

They actually run sleds there, like a 1/4 mile track.

Thanks for the update, Dhuberty24. Looks like we will head out to Cow on Saturday. It will be good to get back on the water.

this may be directed for FLL, I believe he lives on Meredith Neck
what does the ice look like from Cattle Landing toward Bear and Mark Islands, is the Jon/Air Boat still in at Cattle, is it chewing up the ice?
Thanks for any info

I see water in Alton Bay. It's out all the way to that pavilion thing in the water. I never know what to call it.

Guess my guess (April 5) is a wee tiny bit off. But I am glad it is!

The thing in the water is a bandstand. There are two bandstands at Alton Bay, one on shore and one actually in the bay. It is called the "floating bandstand" to distinguish it from the other. It is not really floating as it is secured to a pile of rocks but it appears to float.

Yes this morning there was open water out to the bandstand.

Weather forecast for Dallas/Ft Worth tomorrow is 1-2" of snow. Tomorrow's the first day of Spring, the daffodils are in bloom, tulips have buds and the pear trees have flowers...snow?!

I am in Florida and this past week it was only about 10 degree's warmer than the Lakes Region. Tomorrow it's suppose to be 80 degrees in Florida, but I heard it will be 70 degrees in NH It has been the coldest winter on record here in Florida.
